This has been fixed, and the packages are in QA. If you want to test the
packages yourself, I can definitely hand them off to you, otherwise they're
gonna show up in an erratum.

Comment 2 Mihai Ibanescu 2003-02-27 18:41:58 EST

Errata was shipped - please confirm bug is fixed.

1.5.2-43.72, and verified it was fixed.  thanks!
